Birthday party

So yesterday we celebrated Brody's 3rd birthday (which isn't really till Tuesday) at our house with a fun little party. Well it doesn't seem little cause both Jake's family and my family are so large. It is the second year in a row that we have done a morning party cause the timing works so well for kids and for adults you still have the rest of your day. Plus we get to make breakfast food which is easy, cheap and very yummy.


I think they look so much alike!

Mommy and birthday boy. Since I am usually the one taking pictures I have very few with Brody and for some reason the ones we do have together aren't that great.

After the food and chatting it was present time. Brody does pretty well - he does do the logical thing for a child and that is focus on getting a toy open and play with it which really leaves us parents to open the rest. Oh and he doesn't really appreciate cards that much but most the family and friends cut him some slack.

He got some great toys and we appreciated the generosity of our family and friends!

In the picture it shows two candles but their were three - I think one is hidden behind the other. Brody is thrilled in this picture cause everyone is singing happy birthday and it makes him SO happy!!

One of Brody's favorite presents from this years lot was a slip n' slide. After everyone left it was Brody, Mommy and Daddy time in the backyard while Ryan napped. We played and had lots of fun in the water and sun.

As you can see in the pictures Brody didn't care for his swimmer diaper so he decided to enjoy his time naked. After a while it was just Jake and Brody playing. It was so fun to see them bond and giggle together. Since Jake works so much I noticed yesterday how much I really cherish family time together.
